Mazda Reduces Selling Prices For Some Models In Malaysia

Bermaz Motor has just dropped prices on several Malaysian models including the CX-80, CX-5, CX-8, and CX-30 this October 2025 to improve competitiveness against influx of shiny new Chinese made vehicles, to offset weakened ringgit through increased local assembly efficiency and address slowing sales and profits by reducing costs.

All these moves are being felt by all legacy car manufacturers, Japanese, European and even Korean auto brands. This is not surprising as Chinese auto manufacturers launch their new models at unbeatable selling prices.

Here Are The Mazda Price Adjustments

Mazda CX-80: The newly launched CX-80 saw the most significant cut, with prices dropping by around RM35,000 to RM37,000 after its initial launch.

Mazda CX-5: This popular SUV saw its price reduced by RM10,000 across its petrol variants.

Mazda CX-8: This model received the largest price cut among the other affected locally assembled (CKD) SUV models, dropping by RM20,000.

Mazda CX-30: The entry-level variants of the CX-30 were cut by RM3,000, with other variants seeing a RM5,000 reduction

So, why did Bermaz reduces its selling prices? Well, the Malaysian automotive market has seen a significant influx of affordable, feature-rich Chinese vehicles, forcing Mazda to lower prices to remain competitive.

The Mazda distributor, Bermaz Auto, has experienced a significant drop in profits and sales, partly due to a weakening Malaysian ringgit and intense market competition, especially from electric vehicles.

For locally assembled (CKD) models like the CX-5 and CX-30, Mazda is focusing on increasing local content and production efficiency. This cost reduction is passed on to consumers to mitigate the impact of a weaker foreign exchange rate.

As the distributor, Bermaz Auto has a strategic interest in keeping car prices attractive to consumers. By making cuts, they aim to improve sales volume and market share amidst challenges.

Some core Mazda models in the Malaysian market are nearing the end of their product life cycles, making a price reduction a strategic move before new generations are launched in the next couple of years.
